Through the use of Elyx, GPMNSN manages AOT permissions, cadastre and property transactions. The GIS has become the definitive data source and Port base map.

After deploying the Elyx Suite, the Port committed to organising «Open Days» in order to publicise Elyx Web to all Port staff. The audience welcomed the new product enthusiastically and, for many people, this new way of working. Participants unanimously agreed that sharing such data was essential or indispensable.
